Beatmaker for the iPhone
iPhone apps continue to evolve. I recently stumbled upon Beatmaker, a music creation tool on sale through the Apple store. It’s a bit more expensive than the other apps (around £12 I think) and doesn’t have midi support yet, but the demos I’ve seen so far have been extremely impressive.
Considering there’s a solid business model […]Saving online video
Saw this on the latest edition of Click and thought it particularly useful: splandoo.com takes a URL from a video page and allows you to save the video. I know there are similar sites but going to give this one a go too to see what the performace is like. With some others I’ve noticed […]
WordPress app for iPhone
Oooooo! Gotta download this and try it out when I get home tonight; WordPress for iPhone. I’ve high hopes for all the different applications that’ll be released for the iPhone/iPod Touch over the next few months.
Finally connected
I woke up this morning and my iPhone was connected to the O2 network; on the 12th day of owning the device.
I discovered later that Carphone Warehouse tried to add a £7.50 text bolt-on onto my order that I never asked for. That just puts the icing on a particularly shitty cake for me.iPhone…O2…blah…etc
Not connected yet. 11 days and counting since owning the phone. The Carphone Warehouse store I bought the iPhone from said today that O2 have now definitely set things in motion on their computer systems. Apparently they tried twice before but their systems came up with “fail” during those attempts. This time there was a […]
8 days and counting
My iPhone is still not connected.
Thursday and friday mainly consisted of talking to Carphone Warehouse’s customer support. On thursday a helpful staff member told me he would persue the matter himself and ring me back on friday (to spare me the typical half hour wait I’ve experienced each day waiting on customer support helplines). He […]The Charges Against ActionScript
Very good article by Colin Moock on some of the issues raised over ActionScript 3.0.
It continues…
O2 didn’t ring me back by midday or 1pm as they promised last night to explain what I needed to do to get my iPhone activated. I had to ring them. When I got through I was told that I now have to contact/ring up/revisit Carphone Warehouse and make sure they’ve activated or passed on […]
iPhone update
On hold to O2 for 25 minutes…bounced around 4 departments. Finally, it transpires that O2 haven’t got my details through from Carphone Warehouse yet, so are doing a manual activation tomorrow. Someone will ring me beforehand to go through what needs to be done before this; providing that goes ok my phone may be working […]
No service…in every respect.
So, it’s Tuesday now and I still don’t have any service from my spanking new iPhone 3G. I tried to ring through to O2’s helpline last night and was on hold for 20 minutes. I gave up in the end.
A support email has been sent to them to which I got an automated reply. If […]
